Chet Chandler aka "Memphis Gold" is an internationally acclaimed bluesman, wildly popular in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. Chandler has long time ties to the Silver Spring area, where he raised his family and lived for nearly 40 years. He's a legend in Silver Spring history as one of the heroic rescuers of survivors of a CSX train crash in 1996.
